#Getting Started (TS) for the DevGuide developer
This is the source code for the "Getting Started" Typescrip example code.
There are files here that are *for the audience* and **not to be executed during example development**!
* **package.json** - as the audience will see it; the example reaches up to the site level **node_modules**
and the scripts are not supposed to work here.
* **tsd.json** - as the audience will see it; the example reaches up to the example level typings

## Install Angular2 ## Create a project folder and an *index.html*
There are four steps to create any Angular app:
1. Create an entry point HTML file where users will start Create a new folder to hold our application project, perhaps like this:
1. Load the Angular library at the top of the file
1. Make a root component for your application
1. Bootstrap Angular
You can edit and test out your apps by serving local files with a web server. Follow the steps in the <a href="../quickstart.html">quickstart</a> to get Typescript setup.
If you don't already have an HTTP server, you can install one using <code>npm install -g http-server</code>. (If that results in an access error, then you might need to use <code><b>sudo</b> npm ...</code>.)
For example:
pre.prettyprint.lang-bash pre.prettyprint.lang-bash
code. code mkdir firstNgApp && cd firstNgApp
# From the directory that contains index.html:
npm install -g http-server # Or sudo npm install -g http-server
http-server # Creates a server at localhost:8080
# In a browser, visit localhost:8080/index.html

version. Note that in ES5, you'd want to name your files `.js` rather than
`.ts`.

:markdown
## Create an entry point
Create an `index.html` file and add the Angular library tags and a `main.ts` file where
you'll build your first component.
In the `<body>`, add an element called `<my-app>` that will be the root of your .l-sub-section
application.
The TypeScript setup includes System.js, a third-party open-source library that adds ES6 module loading functionality to browsers. This step isn't needed for the ES5 version.

header Don't use code.angularjs.org in a live app
:markdown
This example serves the Angular library from <a href="http://code.angularjs.org">code.angularjs.org</a>. This is
fine for examples, but you'd want to serve it yourself or use a CDN for real deployment.
.l-main-section
:markdown
## Set up the starting component
In `main.ts`, create a class called `AppComponent`, configure it to bind to the
`<my-app>` element in `index.html`, and call Angular's `bootstrap()` to kick
it all off like this:
+makeTabs("gettingstarted", "ts/main.ts, js/main.js", "TypeScript, JavaScript",
{ otl: [ /(AppComponent)/g, /(my-app)/g ],
pnk: / (\w*:)/g } )

header Annotations vs Decorators
:markdown :markdown
If you are transpiling using a tool that translates the `@` symbols to Our app loads two script files in the `<head>` element:
annotations (for example Traceur), you will need to import the annotation versions of
Component and View. That can be easily achieved using >***angular.js***, the Angular 2 library.
`import {ComponentAnnotation as Component, ViewAnnotation as View}`.
>***app.js***, the application JavaScript which we're about to write.
In the `<body>`, there's an element called `<my-app>`. This is a placeholder for the *root* of our
application. Angular will display our application content here.
.l-main-section
:markdown
## Write the *app* component
Create an *app.js* file with the following content:
+makeExample('gettingstarted', 'js/app-class-w-annotations.js')
:markdown
When we step back and squint, we see that
we're creating a visual component named **`appComponent`** by chaining three methods
originating in the global Angular namespace object called, **`ng`**.
```
var appComponent = ng
.Component({...})
.View({...})
.Class({...})
```
The **`Component`** method tells Angular that this is a component
controlling the element named "my-app".
+makeExample('gettingstarted', 'js/app-component.js')
:markdown
You may remember we added such an element to our *index.html* above.
The **`View`** method identifies the HTML template
that defines the visual appearance of the component.
+makeExample('gettingstarted', 'js/app-view.js')
:markdown
We're writing the HTML template inline
in this example. Later we'll move the HTML to a view template file and
assign the template's filename to the `templateUrl`.
We'll prefer that practice for all but the most trivial templates.
The **`Class`** method is where we implement the component itself,
giving it properties and methods that bind to the view and whatever
behavior is appropriate for this part of the UI.
+makeExample('gettingstarted', 'js/app-class.js')
:markdown
This component has the minimum implementation:
a *no-op* constructor function that does nothing because there is nothing to do.
We'll see more interesting component classes in future examples.

## Run it! ## Run it!
Open `index.html` through your web server and you should see: We need a file server to serve the static assets of our application (*index.html* and *app.js*).
If you have python on your machine, you're in luck: python ships with a basic static file server.
Open a terminal window and enter:
pre.prettyprint.lang-bash
code python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000
:markdown
then point a browser to http://localhost:8000 which should display our simple text message:
figure.image-display figure.image-display
img(src='/resources/images/examples/setup-example1.png' alt="Example of Todo App") img(src='/resources/images/examples/setup-example1.png' alt="Example of Todo App")
:markdown
**If you don't have python**, you may have to install a server.
You might prefer one of the many node-based static servers such as
[http-server](https:/github.com/nodeapps/http-server "http-server"),
[superstatic](https://www.npmjs.com/package/superstatic "superstatic"), or
[live-server](https://www.npmjs.com/package/live-server "live-server").
:markdown
For this example we'll use **live-server** because it performs a live reload by default and it's
fun to watch the browser update as we make changes.
Open a terminal (or Windows/Linux command line) and enter:
pre.prettyprint.lang-bash
code npm install -g live-server

Install [**node** and **npm**](https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/installing-node "Installing Node.js and updating npm")
first if you haven't already. They're indispensible front-end developer tools.

After it finishes installing, start the server on port 8000
pre.prettyprint.lang-bash
code live-server --port=8000

**live-server** loads the browser for us and refreshes the page as we make
changes to the application.

## Explanations ## Add TypeScript Type Definition Files (optional)
This basic Angular app contains the structure for any app you'll build. "*Wait*", you say, "*we're writing in JavaScript, not TypeScript!*".
Indeed we are. But code editors (such as [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) and
[Web Storm](https://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm/features/))
can improve the JavaScript development experience by providing type information and
displaying API documentation ("intellisense") based on TypeScript type definition files.

### @Component and @View annotations
A component annotation describes details about the component. An annotation can be identified by its at-sign (`@`). :markdown
We'll find a ***typings*** folder in the root directory
with subfolders for each of the five downloaded type definition files (angular, es6-promise, rx, rx-lite, jasmine).
Type definition files have names ending in ***d.ts***.
There's also a summary ***tsd.d.ts*** file containing references to each of them.
The `@Component` annotation defines the HTML tag for the component by specifying the component's CSS selector. Check your editor's documentation for instructions on using the *tsd.d.ts* file to
light up type checking and intellisense for these libraries.
The `@View` annotation defines the HTML that represents the component. The component you wrote uses an inline template, but you can also have an external template. To use an external template, specify a <code>templateUrl</code> property and give it the path to the HTML file. .l-main-section

### import vs. window.angular
The main difference between the ES5 and TypeScript versions is the loading of modules. The `AppComponent` that we've been talking about acts as the top
level container - the root of the tree - for the rest of our application.
There's nothing special about the `AppComponent` name and we can use whatever makes sense to us.
**TypeScript**<br/> We've pinned the root component to an element in the `index.html` file where our application will
TypeScript supports ES6 module loading syntax. ES6 modules allow for modular loading of JavaScript code. Using ES6 modules you can cherry-pick only what you need for your app. render its view. The element is called `<my-app>` but there is nothing special about this
name either.
**Javascript**<br/> The *root component* loads the initial template for the application.
In ES5 the script file creates an angular property on the window of the browser. This property contains every piece of Angular core, whether you need it or not. That template could load other components such as menu bars, views, and forms
that display information and respond to user gestures.
+makeTabs('gettingstarted', 'ts/main-import.ts', 'TypeScript') And these components could load yet more components until the browser page became a deep tree
of nested functionality.
+makeExample('gettingstarted/js', 'main-bootstrap.js', 'JavaScript') We'll walk through examples of these scenarios in the following pages.

## Install npm packages
Our application will need some 3rd party JavaScript files:
>***angular.js***, the Angular 2 library.
>***es6-module-loader***, a "shim" that enables today's browsers load files
using the latest "ES6" JavaScript syntax.
>***system.js***, a third-party open-source library that adds module loading functionality to our browser.
>***traceur-runtime.js*** to transpile the TypeScript-generated JavaScript into the version of Javascript
our browser understands (the version known as "ES5").
For our little "GettingStarted" app, we could just install these packages
with four npm commands.
In our real apps, we'd take an extra minute to create a *package.json* configuration file.
This is a more robust, less error-prone approach, that we can maintain as our application evolves.
Create this **package.json** file in the root folder:
```
{
"name": "getting-started",
"version": "0.0.1",
"dependencies": {
"angular2": "2.0.0-alpha.35",
"es6-module-loader": "^0.16",
